Beta Testing the Standard Theme

Suraj Reddy — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:50:10 +0000

When developing websites, the hardest and most frustrating part for me is finding a theme that works. I can almost never find a theme that works out of the box.

This week I’ll begin beta testing the standard theme.

I’m excited, and cannot wait – this is truly a privilege for me. Part of the reasons I’m excited is that @human3rror , aka John Saddington is behind it, and I trust him enough to have faith in the theme.

Hopefully this does not lead me to Wordpress Insomnia.

My Story: Video

Suraj Reddy — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:17:41 +0000

Growing up, I was deeply worried about my destiny -- about what was going to happen when I died. I was also on a quest for meaning -- which one of the gods I worshiped was real?

I Craved Change.

Many of you know I am a Christian, but don’t know why or what it means to me.

This is my story.

Question: Does this resonate? Do you/did you crave change? What’s your story?

Introducing WinterCon – #ewc09

Suraj Reddy — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:17:19 +0000

There’s tons of conferences out there – Urbana, Catalyst, Gospel Coalitions, Hillsong, Tech Conferences, _________ Conference, the list is endless.

WinterCon (short for Winter Conference) is a conference designed specially for us – the “us” being University students from across Canada with a desire of drawing closer to God.

I’ll be aloof @ WinterCon for the next few days, and so will be using the #ewc09 twitter hashtag – it’s usually annoying when I don’t know what a hashtag is about, so hopefully this post serves as a good intro.

I’ll leave you with the promo video for WinterCon.

Question: If you’ve attended conferences before, what’s your favorite and why? If you haven’t attended a conference before, which one would you like to attend, and why?

Summer: Why LooP? (Part 2/2)

Suraj Reddy — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:31:49 +0000

This is a follow up on my previous post about the Waterloo Project, LooP for short. Below are a few reasons I chose to be a part of the project.

I. The Vision

The vision of the project is to “further the movement at Waterloo and accelerate the national campus ministry through evangelism & innovation”. I’m all about doing something serious for Jesus (that rhymed!), and that vision sounds ubber cool.

II. Practicality

I’m getting a chance to practically use skills I’ve been learning from my Computer Science program and apply them in creating software tools to help accelerate Campus for Christ’s impact on University campuses and the world. Some of the software tools built in the past are being used across countries and continents, as well as by other branches of Campus for Christ such as Athletes in Action and Leader Impact.

III. Personal Gain

I’m also getting a chance to be involved with ministry on the University campus, be trained and discipled, and try out full-time ministry for two months. This is sure to accelerate God’s work in my life.

Summer: What I’m doing (Part 1/2)

Suraj Reddy — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:00:50 +0000

Apart from missions trips to Scotland, I have also had the privilege to intern with Campus for Christ (C4C), developing tools for campus ministry as well as free online training for the “The Global Learning Center”.

This summer, I am interning with C4C again on a project called “WaterLoo Project”, “LooP” for short. Below’s a cool promotional video about the project.

On Thursday, I’ll mention a few reasons as to why I chose to be a part.

What are you doing this summer?

Blogging Challenge Update

Suraj Reddy — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 17:00:34 +0000

I’ve fallen behind in the blogging challenge – I blame exams and moving due to the end of the semester. I’ve got a week off this week, before starting an internship with Campus for Christ.

While I might not be able to average a post a day this month, I am working towards doing this better

In the next little while, I am hoping to write about twitter, feelings (yes, a guy writing about feelings), youversion, the gospel coalition, and my internship – buckle up, it’d be great to have you reading.

I am also working towards being nice and reading others’ blogs, yours included. If you’d like me to visit out your blog, please leave a comment with your blog’s address, and I’ll be sure to check it out this week.
